Alice found her way to Kasisi after her mother died. But being orphaned at a young age was not the only struggle that Alice had to overcome. She was born with cerebral palsy, and it took her a long time to learn how to walk. She was finally able to start walking after a long and difficult rehabilitation, but she still had difficulty moving the right side of her body. Despite all this, her spirit is unbreakable. She is extraordinarily strong-willed and determined not to let her disease get the best of her. Even though her exercises are sometimes unpleasant, she doesn’t miss a day of physical therapy. She loves mobility games and the challenges that house chores present. She especially loves to read. Every achievement is a reason for her to smile.
The metal cots and worn-out mattresses have lulled generations of Kasisi kids to sleep, but are now in desperate need of replacement.
Our dream is to make the babies’ bedrooms look like a truly homely, safe environment that is associated with warmth. Will you help us make this dream a reality?
